RECORD RESTRICTIONS & EXPUNGEMENTS
Wiping the Slate Clean with Record Restriction in Georgia
A criminal record can create significant obstacles in your life, impacting job opportunities, housing applications, and even personal relationships. In Georgia, you may be eligible for record restriction (commonly referred to as “expungement”) for certain offenses, allowing you to seal your criminal history from public view. At Elbaz & Elbaz Law, we help clients navigate this often complex process, providing the guidance needed to move forward without the burden of a public record.
Understanding Eligibility for Record Restriction
Not all offenses qualify for record restriction in Georgia, but there are specific circumstances where it is possible. First-time offenders and those charged with non-violent crimes may be eligible to have their records sealed. Cases that did not result in convictions, such as those dismissed or ending in acquittal, often qualify for restriction. However, certain restrictions and limitations apply—violent felonies and multiple convictions may not be eligible. Our team carefully evaluates your case to determine the best path forward.
